4/C CU 600V EPR XHHW-2 LSZH-TP Power Cable With Ground
Type TC-ER Power Cable 600Volt Four Conductor Copper, Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation XHHW-2 Thermoplastic SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH-TP) Jacket with 1 Bare CU Ground

Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Type XHHW-2
- Grounding Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8 (cable size 8 & 6 has insulated green ground)
- Filler:Paper filler (cable size 8 & 6 uses Polypropylene filler)
- Binder:Polyester flat thread binder tape for cable sizes larger than 2 AWG
- Overall Jacket:Thermoplastic SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH-TP) Jacket
Applications and Features:
Southwire’s 600 Volt Type TC-ER power cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10.
